So, it looks like NetherRealm might have a surprise in store for fans this evening during the Sub Zero Watchtower Live Stream.

Up until now, the studio has remained incredibly tight-lipped with regards to the game's third and final DLC character from the games 'Fighter Pack DLC 1'.

We've already had Red Hood, Sub Zero is coming July 11 but a new and not very cryptic tweet from Ed Boon has hinted at some possible announcement for StarFire, the only remaining DLC character in the first fighter pack.

The NetherRealm Studios Creative Director only tweeted two emoji's, one of a star next to some fire and why he'd choose it to do so close to the Watchtower stream has lead many to believe we might get some sort of reveal.

Perhaps Injustice 2 fans could be in line for a new trailer for the DC Comics alien super-hero or maybe just a simple release date.

Either way, it appears as though players could be getting some sort of announcement when the Watchtower live stream gets started at 9pm tonight.

And you can watch everything using the embedded Twitch stream just above.

INJUSTICE 2 SUB ZERO UPDATE 1

A quick reminder that tonight's new Injustice 2 WatchTower live stream will be showcasing Sub Zero DLC character in all his frosty glory.

The Injustice 2 Sub Zero reveal begins on Twitch at 9pm, BST.

The NetherRealm team will be doing a deep-dive into the new DLC character available as part of the games Fighter Pack DLC 1.

This will likely cover all the Mortal Komat characters gear and special moves.

During the games Injustice 2 Red Hood WatchTower event, the casters also showcased some of the characters best combo chains. release date will also be announced, it will likely be set for the coming days.

Fans already know they don't have to wait long for the release date, which has been set for July 11 next Tuesday.

Injustice 2 fans eager to see more gameplay for the games new Sub Zero DLC character won't have to wait that much longer as NetherRealm Studios have announced a new WatchTower live stream taking place this Friday, July 7 at 1PM PDT / 9PM GMT.

If there was ever any doubt over what character is going to be the main focus for the live stream you only need look at the official Tweet, here.

Based on what fans got to see in the WatchTower stream ahead of the release of the games Red Hood DLC character, players will likely get to see a more in-depth look at the Mortal Kombat characters various move sets, combos and special moves that are coming to Injustice 2.

Based on what we've seen so far from the games introduction trailer for Sub Zero, Comicbook.com believes that the second DLC addition to the roster could well be more of a close range fighter.

"Nothing we saw there led us to believe that he'll have very much in his arsenal in terms of zoning and playing keepaway, but he does have some strong mid-range hazards and projectiles that should keep opponents guessing when they can and cannot safely close the distance.

"Coating the ground in ice, leaving behind a frozen shell that instantly freezes opponents, and a few aggressive throws should be enough to keep overly aggressive players at bay."

The recent 1.05 Injustice 2 update fixed a number of key issues with the game, including bugs and balancing issues, but it also gave players their first proper look at the game's new Sub-Zero character and his numerous blue, purple and green costume skins from the character selection screen.

As mentioned, the first Mortal Combat addition, Sub-Zero, will be released next Tuesday on July 11th.

“Now serving as Grandmaster, Sub-Zero vows to redeem that honour, pledging to defend the realm from threats near, far, and beyond,” the official character description explains.

“In the intergalactic menace Brainiac, Sub-Zero sees a threat to all worlds, and perhaps his greatest opportunity for redemption yet.”

Netherrealm Studios have already released a reveal trailer for the Cryomancer, but the new update has given gamers a chance of a sneaky peek at some of his new gear.

Excited fans will be able to scroll through some of his available gear prior to his release date, and players are already analysing the numerous gear combinations, as seen in this 10 minute video.

Sub-Zero’s various costumes include nods to other Mortal Combat characters, such as Noob Saibot and Reptile.

The inclusion of Sub Zero continues the trend set by the original Injustice: Gods Amoung Us, which also had a character from the Mortal Kombat series in the shape of Scorpion.

And Scorpion’s designer, DC comic book artist Jim Lee, has also had a hand in curating the latest design for Sub Zero.

"Jim Lee is one of the co-publishers at DC and he's also an amazing artist, so we just wanted to go full circle with that and have a DC Comics representation of a Mortal Kombat character,”

"We did the same thing with Scorpion in the first Injustice game.

"We really wanted to see how an Injustice version of a Mortal Kombat player [would] fit into the game.”

While many fans may be satisfied with the costumes alone, it looks like Injustice 2 is set to include one more character from the Mortal Kombat Universe, at least based on one Silhouette on the character roster and that's the lightning god Raiden.

Before the release of Raiden though, which is likely to come in the form of the games Fighter Pack DLC 2, fans can look forward to the release of StarFire as part of the game's first DLC rollout.

Based on the time difference between the release of Red Hood and Sub Zero, we can assume that the StarFire release date will likely arrive the middle of August.
